@zimpenfish I was using Hostinger’s DNS Services and they just seem to stop serving CNAME records for some reason. I chucked it on a free account on everyone’s favourite DNS service and that seemed to fix it.
@neptune22222 I might set up a test email address that gets cleared down every day. I’m busy doing other things at the moment though.
@neptune22222 I wrote it, as long as I’m alive it will be free. If I can’t afford to host it, it will disappear. And if I’m not alive and my heirs decide to start charging for it, that’s nothing I can control.
@2legged @ChrisMayLA6 I think it’s about who gets to be king of the ashes, or perhaps Queen, I’m sticking with the Greens. They already have all the democratic structures in place for deciding policy, they’ve always had a socialist programme because social justice and climate justice are the same thing. This is kind of the last twitch of the tail of the old guard, bless them.

A lot of Germans are posting in German about #Giessen today, and since many of our friends overseas may be confused, here's a summary:
The current iteration of the Nazi-Party, the AfD, is holding a summit in the town of Giessen today. They announced the formation of a youth org (Hitler-Jugend?). A ton of people came to protest. The police are busy protecting the Nazis, and politicians in the current government see fit to attack the protesters.
This needs international attention.
Well, that was weird, all of the clerk CNAME records weren't being served by Hostinger. Boring switch to cloudflare and all working again.
Rebooted even though the machine very lightly loaded cos you never know.
looks like something's taken down my app ... sigh
@zimpenfish I'm using a service called clerk to do the user management. I'll see if that's configurable. Ta for the feedback,

David Hinchliffe offers an uncomfortable truth in a letter to the Guardian:
'In what is now very much a our “me first” society, it is swimming against the tide to refer to the common good. But accessing private healthcare is anything but a neutral act. It significantly worsens the prospects of those who are unable, or unwilling, to take this step, whose health problems are often considerably worse than those of the queue-jumpers'.

@francis @markdennehy Separated by 75-80 years, alas. That's two *long* political careers apart.
Announcing the release of the 3x3 builder site. Scratched my own itch and thought I would see if it scratched anyone else's.
It's a system to help you align your todo lists with your longer term goals. It's free to use and always will be.
Check it out, watch the video, have fun with it.
@markdennehy @cstross the party that created the NHS and the current crop of corporate sellouts who are privatising the NHS at a gallop and creating enterprise zones so they can sell us to Blackrock are very different things.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year
– means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

I endured an English public school. But that's not the only reason I'm unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
